Oh wow, that is gorgeous DS!!! I always thought the Leon settings were too low but that was just me. I love your Vatche setting (perfection) and your new diamond, soooo gorgeous

Your new setting and stone is perfection. It looks like you have the perfect set! It can't get any better. Can't wait to see what you choose from Tiffany's.

[blueiris]

I just popped in to see if you'd been to Tiffany yet ... and read: "Tiffany pics coming soon!"

I can't wait to hear (and see) what you tried on!

DS,
You scored the bling trifecta... New sparkly stone, bang on setting I love the profile on that setting, makes that stone pops AND money left over or MORE bling!!!
Yeah you!!
Wear it in great health.

 

[zoebartlett]

It's beautiful, DS! I love the SBF, too.

 

[renogirl]

Thanks so much, Elisa, Zoe, and renogirl! I really love the SBF and shine my little UV light on it just to see it!

Oh here is where I see you've changed your setting and your diamond! I just saw your Tiff thread and I was all surprised at your new setting.

Stunning, stunning, stunning. SO beautiful. I love it so much and the variety it offers. That diamond is just gorgeous by the way.

Wow. Is all I can say. Except that I wish you a lifetime of health and happiness wearing that beauty.

Diamondseeker,
First of all, let me just say that you are one of the most polite, sweet and helpful people around here and you really deserved getting the perfect ring, given the fact that you have helped so many other members to find their own
I am IN.LOVE. with your new diamond The pic with the strong fluor is to die for!!! I'm soooo jealous! And the new setting is also gorgeous and flatters the diamond so much! It really looks amazing and i wish that you always enjoy your ring in good health

 

[Bliss]

DIAMONDSEEKER!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT LOOKS TREMENDOUSLY ELEGANT...JUST PERFECT!!!!!!

I love love love the height!!!!! And may I say that this setting also complements your Tiffany band even better? I think out of all the Tiff bands you tried on, the one you already own is the BEST one!!!! It looks so lovely and beautiful on your hand. Your beautiful diamond also looks much bigger in this setting! I love the side profile!!!! It looks like a little princess crown! So pretty.

CONGRATS!!!!! You finally got your forever setting!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS!!!! Cannot wait to see all the bands you get!!!! Hehehe. The channel band you modeled at Tiffany was also gorgeous!!!!!

Everything looks amazing with your Vatche!!!! And best of all, now you and your gorgeous daughter have Vatche rings!

Wear it in the best of health!!!

 

[diamondringlover]

Beautiful ring, I really love the new setting, congrats

 

[yssie]

Ohhh DS, I'm so late to this thread


Your ring looks amazing. The profile difference between the Vatche and the Leon is - shocking, how much difference such a small change can make!! ITA that the higher setting really lets your stone shine - the lack of squattiness makes it look more proportional to my eyes... And I'm really liking the six prongs



I'm so glad to hear that you like the new stone!! All these stones with fluor are giving mine a complex - sadly there just weren't any promising candidates at the time. I really don't note a size difference either from your pics.

So, how do you feel about the non-H&A, now that you've had it for a few days? Do you *note* any differences, or do you feel there are differences but you don't mind, or...? And how do you feel about the setting, is there anything about it (other than the height, which I honestly think looks SO much better, but I've never been a fan of how-low-can-you-go settings) that you particularly like, anything that you wish was different, anything that you think you'll miss about your Leon?


Oh, and all for a profit - nice find

Sorry for brief replies..I am out of town!

naty...you're so sweet! Thanks SO much!

BLISS!!!...I was hoping you'd see the baby vesion of your ring! This setting is just great in every size! Thank you for showing us your beautiful pics to help those of us interested in the setting to decide! I will agree that I like the band I have the best, so it is a good feeling to have no regrets at this point! Any additional ones will be icing on the cake!

diamondrnglover..thank you!!!

Yssie... you have a great eye when it comes to settings (and diamonds!), so I am pleased that you think my new setting is an improvement! As far as the diamond goes, I think if I had been told it was a perfect H&A, I wouldn't have been able to tell the differene and I certainly cannot detect any leakage, either. It really looks the same as the other stone in the places I have viewed it thus far. As far as the setting goes, I think it is what I have always wanted. I honestly am not seeing anything I would change. The little crown is beautifully done, and as we've already said, the height of the stone is SO much better. I like the thinness of the shank. It is just more elegant and I am sure you can relate because you have been on that journey as well! So I will have to say,I will not miss my old setting at all!

Aww, you're sweet How interesting to hear that observant as I know you are, you don't feel there are any differences in light return *quality* - apparently I'm not the only one who just doesn't see it despite looking for it! I agree that these sorts of non-branded stones can provide excellent value for money, depending on what one is looking for and what vendor one is buying from..

I'm really happy to hear that you love your new setting, too you've talked about the height a few times on here, but it's good to read that everything else is to your tastes as well. It's an interesting progression actually - custom/hand-made to designer/stock/cast. I think there's definitely a way of thinking on PS that classifies the former as superior in all ways at all times and, well, that's just *not the case*!! It's great that newbies seeing this thread will see that various types of manufacture from various vendors all have virtues, and that any of them could be the "right" choice in a given situation...

 

[jaysonsmom]

How did I miss this! Love it of course, the simple elegant solitaire with a little bling from a sparkly band. My favorite combo

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

It's beautiful! I love a solitaire with a diamond band. So classic!
